Zusammenfassung:Apparatus for measuring pelvic floor muscle strength, comprising a speculum (2) comprising a first part (20) comprising a grip area (21) and a front area (22), and a second part (23) comprising a grip area (24) and a front area (25), the second part (23) being pivotally coupled to the first part (20), and a measuring device (3) coupled to said speculum (2) suitable for obtaining the force applied on said front areas (22, 23) when they are in contact with the vaginal wall, said measuring device (3) comprising at least one elastic measuring element (4). The measuring device (3) comprises a rod (5) which is fixed to the grip area (21) of the first part (20) of the speculum (2) and traverses the grip area (24) of the second part (23) of the speculum (2), and pushing means coupled to the elastic measuring element (4), said pushing means being decoupled from the rod (5) when the apparatus (1) is in a standby position and the pushing means being coupled to said rod (5) when the apparatus (1) is in a measuring position.
